Ecclesiastes 5:2

Do not be quick with your mouth,
do not be hasty in your heart
to utter anything before God.


Heavenly Father,

When we speak without thinking foolishness flows through our words,
And when we act without coming from the heart our behaviour can be absurd.

Human nature is fallible and left to its own devices can get us into strife,
Where as a Godly approach is wisdom and brings a humble heart to our life.

A hot headed person says things in the passion of the moment without thinking,
And it leads them into dangerous waters where there soul is left sinking.

Wise men don't speak just to hear the sound of their own voice,
They select their words carefully and leave no room for error, or remorse.

Not only do you listen to us when we kneel to pray,
You listen to each and every word that we think or have to say.

You are the creator of all life and see every thought, word, action and deed,
And you know ahead of time will we choose foolishness or wisdom that sets our soul free.

When we come to you to seek salvation and guidance we should be thoughtful in what we ask,
And be wise in what we say and in all your Glory we should bask.

I pray that I guard my thoughts and heart and cleanse them each and everyday,
And be wise and humble when I come to you and listen to what you say.

God Bless,
Gina
